It is now the people at Tomshardware's job to get one of theses and 3D print a head of Jarrod and stick a small usb speaker in it. Then he can say non workplace safe things through it. "Hey baby, want me to review your video card?" 😜

Article says "Four times..." but it's actually 8 - you forgot the Z axis.
And it's contradictory since the article says typical is usually 250x250x250 rather than the larger, not so normal sized 400x400x400... That would make it 32 times the volume!!!

Looks like whoever was making the comparison was comparing the 250 to the 400 (which IS almost exactly 4x the volume).

250x250x250=15,625,000
400x400x400=60,000,000
800x800x800=256,000,000 (yes I know its 800x800x1000 but this is for demonstrative purposes)

This printer volume advertisement may be illegal, as the production, sale and storage of reallike children's dolls were banned in some countries because they were associated with pedophile activity.

"A mainstream 3D printer is usually 250 x 250 x 250 mm and a large one might be 400 to 500 mm in each dimension."

So, 500x500x500 = 125,000,000
800x800x1000 = 640,000,000

640 / 125 = 5.12X if we're going to be precise.

Yes, it would be 40.96X as large a volume as the base 250x250x250 3D printers, but compared to the "normal" large printers it's not as big of a jump in volume.

As for 3D printing my head, I would think something like this would be more fit for a talking Avram or Les bust. 🙃

There's also the whole ethical concern of actually printing a toddler, regardless of whether or not it is possible, but I digress. Eventually, we will get a 3d printer big enough to print a house.

Already happening...

I guess it's just semantics then as to what you'd consider a typical 3D printer. Not at all an area I'd claim to be an expert in nor am I looking to start something over it; I'm just looking to bring specificity where ambiguity exists.
